C80 rhyme

"In this world, anyone would want to harm His Highness, but I don't." "Alright." Moreover, if Lady Li Yue was not here, if she had precious medicinal ingredients, she would not have stayed in a house that was completely defenseless and had never fallen behind a lock. "

"I'm afraid the arsonist doesn't think so." Xiao Yi Xiu swept his gaze over Yun'er. "Where did you go last night?"

Yun'er had an innocent expression. "When I went into the water, I served the wife of the prince in the hall. Afterwards, I naturally served the wife to sleep in her room."

"Did you all sleep well after the arson incident?" Gu Qingli suddenly interrupted.

"But is a cat's fault that it has to be tangled up to the point that it can't sleep at all for the rest of the night?"

"Even though it was the cat's fault, it still lost a lot of precious herbs. This kind of thing cannot help but make people feel uneasy. I went back home and tossed and turned about, worrying if the herbs the king needed to treat his illness would be damaged."

Yun'er lowered her head, "Anyway, the rain continued to fall during the night, where can this servant go in this weather? Naturally, I'm sleeping in my room. "

Gu Qingli pointed at her shoes. "Could it be that you came here this morning specially to pick up muddy and undried paths?" Every path in the manor was paved with fine and flat pebbles. The open space that led to the manor's gate and the main road were all flat green stripes that were definitely not stained with mud.

Yun Er's expression changed.

"Last night, it rained. You slept early last night. Could the mud on the legs and shoes have been splashed over a month ago?"

Yun-er pulled her feet back in panic, as if the hem of her skirt would cover everything.

"Yun'er!" What exactly did you do last night? " She did not expect that the one who asked the question was Gabriella. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with disbelief. She bit her lower lip.

"I... This servant really only served the madam to sleep before returning to her room. "Oh right, I brought the upside-down gold clock that the madam likes best in the flower beds in the courtyard to the corridor below. Because the flowers are blooming, I'm afraid the cold rain will knock out all the flower buds that night."

She lifted the corner of her skirt. "Maybe it was at that time that I stepped on the flower bed and got dirty!"

It sounded reasonable, and Gabrielle frowned: "Is that true? Why don't we go back and see if the inverted gold clock is under the porch. "

"No need, I don't think a pot of flowers can bring out cat hair." Gu Qing Li suddenly grabbed Yun'er's leg and lifted her feet. There were several unreadable strands of black hair stuck to the mud at the back of her shoes. If it wasn't for her sharp eyes, she really wouldn't have noticed.

Yun'er fell to the ground with a thud, her face contorted in pain.

With this, she could clearly see the black fur on the bottom of her feet.

"Don't tell me you cut off this hair?" Gu Qing Li picked up two pieces and placed them in front of Xiao Yi Xiu's eyes.

He quickly tilted his head, and the disdain in his eyes could not be concealed. It was as if he needed to be ten feet away from her.

Gu Qingli was startled, but then she laughed inside. She had forgotten about Prince Ao Jiao's obsession with cleanliness. Let alone removing it from the soles of her shoes, just the cat hair in the mud was enough to make him nauseous.

On the other hand, Gabriella stared at him for a few times before looking at Yun'er with a pale face. "You're my servant girl, so I've never been unkind to you. Tell me, why did you go to Xiaoyao's garden and start a fire?"

"That's right, that's a cat's fur, but it doesn't mean I set fire to Xiaoyao's garden!" "I was just sneaking out to kill that cat! I am acting unfairly for Madam! "

"You … What does it have to do with me if you kill that cat? " Not to mention that Gabriella didn't know what was going on, even Gu Qingli felt that it was unreasonable.

"This servant knows that Madam has been secretly in love with the Prince for many years. I don't want to anger that cat for causing trouble, causing the oil lamp to overturn and the medicinal herbs to burn." Madam was worried all night and couldn't sleep because she was afraid that Prince's medicinal herbs would be burned. "I was too angry, so I went to kill that cat and skin it on a tree!"

"What?" Skin and hang it on a tree? " "Gabriella's face was pale and her body shook, as if she was frightened." You... How can you do this? "

"Isn't it just a cat? It's just an animal! After all the trouble, why didn't anyone arrest it and kill it? If it was someone else, they would have already been severely punished, or even sentenced to death, right? "

Gabriella frowned: "It's just an animal! What does it know? What do you care about an animal? "

"This servant doesn't want to bicker with it, but this servant also doesn't think that there's a need to kill a cat to vent her anger. Madam, do you really not know why I killed it? "

Gu Qing Li was furious when she heard that she had killed Miao'er. She wanted to strangle this vicious girl to death, but she couldn't resist grabbing Yun'er's wrist and shouting, "Your heart is so vicious that you won't even let a cat go. Killing it is fine, but you still want to skin it?"

"How did this servant become so malicious?" It almost destroyed the medicinal herbs in the medicinal garden, and perhaps even delayed the recovery of the prince's illness because of this. Yun-er changed from her cowering posture and spoke with conviction.

Gu Qingli knitted her brows, unable to refute him for the moment. She and Xiao Yixiu both tacitly believed that Miao'er didn't cause the fire to go bad, but if Yun'er was ignorant and believed the guard's deduction, she believed that the cat had committed the crime and shouldn't be too harsh on her. After all, no matter how cruel she was, she still needed to differentiate between life and a cat's life.

Xiao Yi Xiu finally spoke up. "Yun'er, did you kill the cat just because it accidentally caused a fire in the herb garden?"

Yun-er bit her lower lip and didn't say a word.

"Your Highness, Yun'er is my servant, but after what happened, I didn't dare to protect her. I was willing to hand her over to Your Highness for punishment." Gabriella looked pitiful as she added, "I hope you can make it clear that you can't …" One can't die for a cat. "

Yun Er suddenly cried, "Madam, you only want to please the prince, but he has never put you in his heart. This servant knows why he did not order people to capture and kill the cat, because it was raised by Lady Li Yue, because the prince only has Lady Li Yue in his heart, and even her cat is more important than Madam!"

Gu Qingli raised her eyes in shock.

"Madam can hold her temper in, but this servant just can't stand it. Ever since you entered the mansion, the prince has stopped looking at you directly and has been pairing his feelings with Lady Li Yue all day." You see, their cat had turned over the oil lamp and burned down the cabin, but with a few words the prince believed her. Madam, you are the prince's concubine, and even if you enter through a side door, you are still his pillow man. He only believes Lady Li Yue's words. The reason he suspects this servant is actually because he suspects Madam! "

Gu Qing pulled back the center of his brows and started to have a whole new level of respect for Yun'er.

Compared to Xin Ziyao and those other vicious and venomous women, her IQ seemed to be more than a level higher. Even if she spoke perfectly, it wouldn't be easy for her to refute them.

From the mud on her shoes to the black fur on her cat, no matter what evidence she listed, Yun-er was able to do what she wanted, and it made sense. As for Gabriella, she had been there, innocent and at a loss. She was pitiful, and it was hard to tell if she and Yun-er were colluding or not.
